I have 3 shelter dogs and 2 indoor cats. They all get along.

For now I have just one shelter cat. He came to live with me with his brother and both lived here a long time, but now there's only the one left. I want another cat, but I think he's just too old to adjust.

I have a three year old miniature schnauzer and he is more than enough to provide for with routine vet bills, pet insurance premiums for unexpected vet bills and his food.

I don't have any pets.  My 18 year old cat passed away in March.  I hope to get another in the future.  Not ready yet.

2 dogs... no cats but  2 cockatiels and one Parakeet.

Two kitties.

Just curious, why  do people say they have a "rescue" cat or dog, or a "shelter" cat or dog?  Why do they distinguish where their pet came from?

One small, white mixed breed long haired rescue dog, 8 yrs. old. Had him from about 10 months old. Agree with previous poster: grooming, vet bills and food are all my budget can take. Besides, he is the best dog I have ever had. Perfect companopn for me. None better. 

On occasion I watch my grand dog, too. They are the same size and get along well.
